1480
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Roche is a 1480 by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a tall, serious-looking figure holding a long staff. The person is dressed in simple robes with a halo around their head. Behind them, a smaller figure reaches up, and the background is filled with geometric patterns and buildings. The figure’s face looks calm but firm, and the lines are sharp and precise. This style was common in religious art from that time. Look up Renaissance to see how this style changed art.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
